I’ve Lost Momo

I’ve lost a favorite book, and have no idea how, or where, or when… It’s Momo, by the German writer Michael Ende, who also wrote The Neverending Story.

Many years ago my husband and I bought Momo in Granada, Spain, at the university bookstore. We were sent there when we asked about books in English – we’d run out and were desperate for new stories. There were only a couple on a small shelf, for students studying English literature, and most weren’t appropriate for travel reading. But Momo was there, and we both adored it.

I wanted to reread it to see how it’s held up over time, but I can’t find it, and I feel bereft. Surely it’s somewhere – back to searching.
